The document summarizes common barriers that prevent people from getting involved or sharing their faith, including insensitivity, feeling it's not their business, inadequacy due to age or ability, and fearfulness. It then provides biblical responses to each barrier, encouraging readers that God gives strength and calls believers to occupy until he returns and preach the gospel to all people.
Why has every nation that opposed Jerusalem fallen? What is unique about this ancient city? What is its significance? Why is it divided today? What will be its future?
The question today is, "At what point, as a Christian, do I draw the line?" In other words, how do you know what hills to die on where you refuse to go along with what the rest of the culture is doing? We're going to find the answer by looking at the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective?

2Ki 5:1 Now Naaman, captain of
the host of the king of Syria, was a
great man with his master, and
honourable, because by him the
LORD had given deliverance unto
Syria: he was also a mighty man
in valour, but he was a leper.
3. 2Ki 5:2 And the Syrians had gone out
by companies, and had brought
away captive out of the land of Israel
a little maid; and she waited on
Naaman's wife.
2Ki 5:3 And she said unto her mistress,
Would God my lord were with the
prophet th at is in Samaria! for he
would recover him of his leprosy.
4. 2Ki 5:4 And one went in, and told his
lord, saying, Thus and thus said the
maid that is of the land of Israel.
2Ki 5:5 And the king of Syria said, Go
to, go, and I will send a letter unto the
king of Israel. And he departed, and
took with him ten talents of silver, and
six thousand pieces of gold, and ten
changes of raiment.
5.
2Ki 5:6 And he brought the letter
to the king of Israel, saying, Now
when this letter is come unto thee,
behold, I have therewith sent
Naaman my servant to thee, that
thou mayest recover him of his
leprosy.

the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light
a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on
a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house. [16] Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is
in heaven."
